LING 6012 - Advanced Phonetics and Phonology

Current controversies with respect to phonological representation; more on rule-and-derivation versus constraint-based approaches to phonology; the architecture of phonological grammars; including the Phonetics/phonology interface; adequacy of competing models with respect not only to synchronic phenomena, but also to phonological change and phonological acquisition. Graduate students are expected to perform at a superior level.
